What is Replate’s PoP and why should your nonprofit want to join?
Replate is a nation-wide food rescue non profit that began in California back in 2016. As all food rescue, food bank, and direct distribution non profits can attest, there’s a lot more to food rescue and repurposing than driving a meal or bag of groceries from one side of the city to another.
During our time in the food rescue space, we have worked with plenty of 3rd party logistics partners to get food to our nonprofit recipients. But in 2023 - we launched the Partner Organization Program (PoP) - here at Replate. We realized if we were going to pay for the labor of picking up donations, why pay a huge for-profit corporation when we could instead, pay the very same local organizations receiving our donors' food?
Since then, PoP has grown exponentially, more than quadrupling the number of pickups (and profit-share payouts!) performed per month by Partner Orgs in 2024 than we did in 2023! And now that we’ve refined our processes for the program, created new tools for our non profit partners to use, witnessed success from both our partners and donors—who appreciate the consistency and rapport of having the same rescuer each day—we are ready to expand the program to communities nationwide
- Does your organization rescue food, or have the bandwidth to start picking up food at nearby donors?
- Could your organization use additional food donations for your distribution programs?
- How about a bit of unrestricted cash each month?
- Do you want to get plugged into a nationwide network of fellow non profits?
- Are you interested in building community, and sharing resources and support in the food rescue space?
If any or all those things sound like you or your org - we want to hear from you!
